He is the senior author of "Notes on Transport Phenomena," (by, Bird, Stewart, and Light;foot), published by Wiley in 1958. The .latter book, which is currently under revision, is an attempt to present the theory of mass, momentum, and energy transport in flow systems in a manner which will be useful for undergraduate engineering instruction. His researches have been in the field of intermolecular forces and the properties of gases (equation of state, transport properties), and (Continued on page '.1)
